President Joe Biden landed in Geneva on Tuesday, ahead of his much-anticipated meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin the next day.

Biden famously called Putin a"killer" and once mused that he had no soul. The US president may want to come away from Wednesday's meeting having scored a few points, rather than having found common ground.

In his first months in office, Biden already leveled new sanctions on Putin's regime for a range of alleged actions, including the cyber hacking of US agencies and the poisoning of prominent Russian dissident Alexei Navalny. At the same time, Biden has also checked colleagues in the State Department and Democratic lawmakers who want the administration to take an even more aggressive approach to Moscow.

Putin, however, will present his own red lines. These include, as Carnegie Moscow's Dmitri Trenin detailed, the prospect of Ukraine's entry into Nato or US deployments to Ukraine, as well as Western interference in Belarus, whose long-standing ruler, President Alexander Lukashenko, has brutally cracked down on an opposition protest movement after claiming victory in an allegedly rigged election last year.

Brands continued:"When Washington signals that it needs predictability in the relationship, it tempts Putin to show how easily he can deny that predictability until it meets Moscow's terms."
